“Julie was fantastic! She took the best care of our furbabies (who have special needs) and made us feel at ease while we were away. We knew our babies were in good hands and that allowed us to enjoy our trip to the fullest. She is a great communicator and truly cares for your pets as her own. We will definitely be booking her again!!”
About: I have extensive experience with both dogs and cats in a home setting and hospital setting. I have worked at an animal hospital and can administer medication if need be. I’m ready to love on your baby! I keep my schedule updated to take care of your baby whenever I am available! Outside of this, I am an early childcare teacher. I try to keep my schedule updated with my hours! Let me know and we can work something out! I can administer medication if needed, and I am more than willing to play with your baby indoor or outdoor! Long walks, lots of toys, and treats if okay!
“I couldn’t be happier to have Madysen watch my Sophie. She sent me pictures of Sophie. Sophie looked so happy. She went for walks everyday and sat with her. Sophie was sad to see her go.”
“Bruni is amazing. My dog Sophie couldn’t have been happier and in better care. Bruni sent me pictures and videos which calmed my mind. Sophie has bad separation anxiety and I saw no sign of it while she watched her. Thank you so much for being so attentive to her. I would definitely use her again!”
“Alexis was amazing first time I met her. I knew she would be great with my dog Maggie. Who is blind and deaf? And I knew she would put the patience in to take care of her for my journey away. She was an amazing pet sitter and house sitter. She did an exceptional job and I would recommend her to any one I am planning to use her in the future as well.”
About: I have had dogs all my life, they are my fur babies. I also have had cats as well. I love all animals and treat everyone's fur babies as if they were my own. I have experience with all types of dogs, as I have had small dogs to large dogs. I also volunteer with one of the local animal rescues. Love to throw a ball around with the dogs or just snuggle and give them belly rubs. Anything your fur babies like to do, I would be more than happy to provide them with the interaction they need. I have a very flexible schedule so being available for your pets needs is no problem at all. Walks, play-time, baths, or just some quiet snuggle time. Your dog will have a great time on walks or playtime with me. Look forward to time with your fur baby! If you have a kitty, I am able to provide care & play for them while you are away as well. Also can help with horse care too. Look forward to meeting you and your fur babies soon. Let's set up a FREE meet & greet to find out how I can make life easy for your fur babies while you are away. I work from home. I have a pretty flexible schedule. I do book up fast. Please try and notify me as soon as possible. Love to help take care of your fur babies. I take care of everyone's fur babies as if they were my own. Always make sure they are safe whether it is on a walk or in the safety of your secured backyard.
“Savannah was amazing. She kept me in loop and stayed connected with me when I was gone. She didn't hesitate asking questions when she wasn't sure about something, instead of assuming what to do and I like that. My pups were happy and were well taken care of by her”
“Tim is awesome! I’ve used many sitters through Rover and Tim is the best! This is the 2nd time he has watched my 4 dogs and chickens at my house. He feeds them and spends a great deal of time with them. He also goes above and beyond by sweeping my floors and washing the bedding in my guest bedroom he slept in. It’s nice going on vacation and not having to worry. It’s also great coming home from vacation to happy dogs and a clean house.”
About: With over 6 years of pet sitting experience and 15+ years caring for my own animals, I treat every pet like family. I’m dedicated to providing personalized care, your way, ensuring your pet feels loved and safe while in my care! My open weekly schedule is a little bit tricky due to me working full-time about 20 minutes away. My availability on those days would only be to the pets who don’t need to be let out side for about an eight hour period until I got home. Otherwise, my weekend schedule is fully open and I can be home all day to let any pets outside that I would need to. In my home, pets enjoy plenty of attention, playtime, and walks—with help from my two kids (ages 9 and 11) to keep them company. Pets are welcome on my furniture! In your home, I’ll follow your routine closely and tailor care to your pet’s needs in any way you request.
“All I can say is wow. Ryan took SUCH good care of our 2 dogs and 1 cat. He sent so many fun pictures and videos and I can tell the pets were so well taken care of and so loved. I wish I had met Ryan sooner so Ziggy, Jim, and Hank could have had more time with him. Highly recommend having him hang with your cute pup or kitty! I truly could not recommend him more - 10/10, no notes!”
About: I grew up on a ranch taking care of all kinds of animal and as adult I have always been a pet owner! I have nothing but love for animals . I am currently working part time and a part time student so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pet . I do have a fenced in backyard that will give them space to run and play. I love to play with my dog we spend and hour outside playing fetch and we enjoy love walks, I also have a cat she loves dogs too.
About: Pets are family, and I understand how much trust it takes to place their safety and well-being in someone else’s hands. My dog is my everything, and he has his own unique quirks and special accommodations, so I know firsthand that pet care is never one-size-fits-all. I will take the time to learn your pet’s personality, routine, preferences, and individual needs while carefully listening to your requests. My goal is to care for your pet the way you would, whether that means extra patience, a favorite walking route, a specific feeding routine, special accommodations, or plenty of cuddles and reassurance! I will treat your pet like one of my own and provide warm, attentive care that helps both you and your pet feel safe, comfortable, and at ease. I work full time during the week, so pet care fits best into my evenings and weekends, when I can be fully present and give each pet the attention they deserve. I’m available for weekend walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays, and I plan my schedule carefully so I never overcommit. Caring for my own dog is already an important part of my daily routine, so walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and plenty of love come naturally to me! I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings and maintain their normal routines. I take time to understand each pet’s feeding schedule, walking routine, personality, favorite activities, and any special instructions or accommodations they may need. I will treat your home with respect and care for your pet as closely as possible to the way you would. This includes providing meals and fresh water, walks, playtime, companionship, bathroom breaks, and plenty of affection based on your pet’s individual preferences. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away!
About: I will treat your babies as well as treat mine! Whether it's an epic high-energy walk, a rigorous backyard fetch session, or low-key couch snuggles, I'm fully here for it. You'll get plenty of daily photo updates to keep you in the loop while you're away. Living with four dogs and a cat of my own, caring for pets isn't something I have to squeeze in—it’s already my whole day-to-day life. My routine is pretty much non-stop morning walks, mid-day sniffing sessions, evening yard play, and endless couch snuggles. Seamlessly fitting your pet's feeding times, potty breaks, and favorite quirks into my daily rhythm is just second nature to me! When I’m in your home, my main goal is to keep your pet’s normal routine so they barely even notice you're gone. I strictly follow your feeding schedules, walk routes, and house rules, while making sure your space stays clean and respected.
“Tammy was an amazing pet sitter. She was super attentive and responsive. She left my house spotless and even washed the sheets for me. She did periodic check ins and sent photos of the pups. I would highly recommend booking Tammy. She is sweet and very caring. I could tell my pups were well taken care of.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life. And I have walked dogs for neighbors in the past. I love animals and love to help them in any kind of way! I am currently looking for a full time job so I have a lot of open availability. I’m very flexible and drive my own car. My apartment is very safe! I have to keep it baby proof for my cat anyway so I am very careful about that. I am very clean and always clean up after myself.

The average cost of House Sitting in Bloomingdale is $34 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $56 per night.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Bloomingdale walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Bloomingdale maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Bloomingdale choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
